CHAPTER ".

Captain Ruthven was grateful to his
friends.
"What should have done, Harry"
he would say at times, "if you had not
taken care of me? / had felt i'll all that
day, and my head had been queer"
Then Harry would say how pleased
he was, how fortunate it was that he
happened to be at the station, and how
astOnished he had felt at seeing the face
OF an old coliege-cOmpaniOn.
The climate of India must weaken a
fellow dreadfully," said Harry. You
did not look as though you would live
two days longer when l saw you, Char
ley; but you will soon be all right now"
1T was not India that weakened me-"
returned Charley.
But he said no more. He never told
his friends how he had loved and mar
ried, and how his wife had deceived
him. He spoke only of one thing, and
that was his great desire TO get back to
India as soon as he could.
do you want to shoot or be shot at?"
asked Harry impatiently. Get well
first, and then we will talk about India"
But the getting well was slow work.
There was the deep fostering wound
which nothing could close or heal.
There was the remembrance of the fair
gentle girl he had loved at Upton, and
the remembrance of the woman who
had knelt and called him back to for
give her. Long dreary weeks passed,
and still the time had not come when
he could be called well.
"What shall | get to amuse youp"
said Mrs. Archer to him on the first day
that he came down into the drawing
room. Harry was obliged to go out;
and have some letters to write. Would
you like book?"
"Yes," answered Charley, glad of any
thing that would take away his thoughts
from the dreary haunting past
"What kind of reading do you pre-
fer?n asked his hostess. "A nice lively
novel would be the right thing. All, I
know the book that will just suit you'll
read it last week. l will send to the
library for it."
What is it?' asked Charley Ian
guidly.
1T is called A Life's Mistake, and
just now there is good deal of talk
about it. The papers do nothing but
praise it. No one knows the writer,
and opinions are divided-sOme think it
is man, some lady,"
Il don't like women's books" said
Charley abruptly.
You will like this" replied Mrs.
Archer. at is many years since 1 have
read anything like it. There is such a
breath Of summer running through it;
one can see the sunshine and smell the
flowers. Whoever wrote it is a genius,
whether it be man or woman"
Hearing these praises, when the book
came, Captain Ruthven seized it eagerly.
"a life's mistakel" he thought. "Can
It be greater than miner" And then he
began to read.

ROCHESTER,, VT, Feb. 5, 1885.
Editor Register AT Hancock last
evening Albert Flint told me that about
1910 he saw in Boston an old horse taken
there from Compton, Lower Canada, by
Farewell & Bullock OWN. Farewell he
thought, called Old Moscow, snowy
and famous horse, which died in Boston
soon after. He was dark bay, medium
size, but with immense shoulders and
broad chest. He said it took a collar
that would fit a much larger horse of or
binary build to fit Old Moscow. Proba-
bly, this was the father of the Moscow
race. l noticed what he said about the
shoulder, as the same thing is noticeable
in Motion.

ed from Perry one of Davenport's posters

SUNDRY LETTERS.
INTERVIEW WITH CHhS. MORGAN, ESQ,
ROCHESTER, VT.


ROCHESTER, Jan. 16, 1885.
Editor Register Il had quite a long
talk with Chas. Morgan this morning,
but with very meagre results. He says
he has heard his father discuss with en-
quiring horsemen the questions concern
ing the old horse hundreds of times, but
he is quite innocent of dates. He under
stands that J. NJ. went back to SPRING
field to collect his pay Of a man for
whom he had worked, and not getting
money took yearling colt, the Justin
Morgan horse. He never heard of the
Figure horse; never heard that j. NJ.
owned or handled more than one horse in
Vermont; deems it impossible that he
should have had two stations in '93 or
"a, when his Charles father was sew
Ell or eight years old and the latter never
mentions that fact in any Of the numer-
Gus talks and discussions listened to by
Charles, who never until this morning
heard the idea suggested. Charles says
he had no paternal uncles and thinks j..
NJ. left no son except Justin, Jr., who
was II years old at his fathers death and
lived thereafter until his majority with
one Carpenter on the farm about three
miles from Randolph Center on which j.
Nj. died. Justin, Jr., was Gas is Charles)
remarkably methodical man, who kept
everything in black and white, and J. NJ,
ST., probably did likewise, as he was
ready with the pen and was chosen town
clerk; but Charles has no idea where any
book kept by mis- grandfather could now
be found except the family record in the
old Bible, which he thinks is in the hands
of j. B. Rogers, Binghampton, n. Y, to
whom Charles will write and inquire. He
has seen that record which was fully
and carefully made in the hand of j. NJ.
himself. j. Morgan, Jr., had two sisters,
but Charles thinks that if there were any
books or papers they would probably
have been left at the old place with the
sons, and Charles never knew of his IA
theirs having any such, and if he had,
thinks he would have produced and re-
ferred to them in his lifetime concerning
these questions which became important
in his day and which he was very fire.
quently called upon to elucidate. Charles
thinks j. NJ. died very poor, but says his
gravestone is yet to be seen in the Gene
terry at Randolph Center with date of
death still legibe.
This is the extent of my information.
Yours truly, W. Ii. BLISS.

PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTER Is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend 1t shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority In
the world on the true history and pedigree Of
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department Is worth many times its
subscription price = valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming In tor this department; and we ex-
poet to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse Lady Surrey dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, &. s. of Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas reputed g. 9. of Biggarts
Rattler, and many others.
This is prominently the kind of intorma-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle.
mans paper for the history of the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trao-
ing of some OF these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, In which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty of
the country through which he travels.

Spread the circulation. We want the REGIS
TER to go upon every farm in the country,

WALKERS MORRILL,.

AS experience is often at odds with
prediction, there is a peculiar pleasure in
being able to prove 81 told you sou
Therefore it is a pleasant task for me to
bring forward the following array of
facts in the career of Walkers Morrill,.
1t was Westward Ho, for both of us in
1874; he as four-year-old and |, well

shunting and jolting, we arrived at Cold
water, Mich, short of provisions; but

Walkers Morrill, was the junior member.
A copy OF that poster-circular is now
before me, and as this horse was never
so strong as he is today, it may be inter-
esting to recite what then said of him,
viz: she is very fast and promising
colt, and being descended from race of
trotters for generations, his get must be
fast and fine looking. He is youngster
of remarkable power, combined with
smoothness of finish all over, and in mo-

form and general appearance. He was

ALExANDER'S ABDALLAH, is.

Alexander's Abdallah was a bay horse,
foaled in 1852, bred by Lewis j. Sutton,
Warwick, n. Y, and sold to Major Ed
sail, and bought by Messrs. Love & Mil
Ter in February, 1859, and brought to Ken
lucky; by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, LIST
dam Katy Darling by Bay Roman I'd dam
by Mambrino, son of Mambrino, thorough
bred son of imp. Messenger. Alexander's
Abdallah was called Edsall's HANDLE
tonan, and when brought to Cynthiana,
Ky, where he made several seasons, was
called Loves Abdallah. When the war
came on Mr.. Love was afraid Of losing
his horse and proposed to sell him to the
late R. A. Alexander, who at first de-
clined to purchase, Tut who said he would
give so much for him provided he could
trot in 2 :35 with months handling.
James Monroe who was then driving for
Mr.. Alexander took the horse and in two
weeks handling he trotted in 2 :35 or bet
ter and Mr.. Alexander purchased him,
and has since been known as Alexander's
Abdallab. The horse died February 2,
1865, in being ridden hard in raid made
by guerillas on WOODBURY. Farm.
He was horse of good form, neat
head and neck, well placed shoulders,
good middle piece, sound feet and legs,
good trotting action, and stood about 10
hands 3 inches high.
In Wallace's Trotting Register, volume
w., page 2, he says: Katy Darling is
said to be by Bay Roman, but her sire is
really unknown. Upon what authority
this is made is not stated. Alexander's
Abdallah died quite a young horse, in the
prime of life, thirteen years old-just as
he was beginning and had an opportuni-
ty to make a great name as the head of
the WOODBURY. Trotting Stud. He has
five in the = 80 list-Goldsmith Maid
2:l4, Rosalind 2:2l3, Thorndale 2:22t,
Major Edsall , 20, and st. Elmo 80.
He has twelve sons-Abdallah Messen-
ger, Abdallah, Jr., Abdallah Pilot, AL
mont, Balsora, Belmont, Woods Ham
bletonian, Jim Monroe, Major Edsall,
Pacing Abdallah, Shelby Chief and
Thorndale, who have sired eighty-two
trotters and four PAGERS better than 80.
He is the sire of nineteen mares who
have produced twenty trotters and two
PAGERS better than 80. He has thirty
five grandsons who have sired sixty-seven
performers in , 80 or better, and seven
teen grandaughters who have produced
twenty performers in 2 80 or better. So
it will be seen that descending direct from
Alexander's Abdallah, through himself,
his sons, grandsons, daughters and gran
daughters they have contributed two
hundred performers, trotters and PAGERS,
to the 2 80 list-a remarkable showing
for single sire. We shall from time to
time give sketch like the above of the
principal trotting sires, believing it will
be found interesting to our readers
